Common Allergies In Children

Children are allergic to various things that may cause sneezing, coughing or wheezing. Do you wish to know the common allergies in children? How about knowing seasonal allergies in children? Few most common allergies in children would include dust mites, food allergies, pollen allergies, molds, cockroaches, pets, etc.

Do you find your child sneezing, coughing or wheezing very often? Does your child have problems digesting certain foods? If your answer is a “yes” to these questions, chances are that your child is allergic to certain substances.

What are allergies? They are simply the overreaction or hypersensitive reaction of the immune system towards substances that are normally not harmful to the majority of people. Below are a few common allergies found in children.

Dust mites top the list of allergens. You can find them in your carpet, bedding, and almost anywhere in the house. They are not visible to the naked eye. Dead skin cells are shed from our body on a daily basis and the dust mites feast on the dead skin cells.

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology recently conducted a study and found that nearly 8% of the kids in the United States suffer from food allergies. Foods that cause allergies in children include cow’s milk, eggs, seafood, shellfish, peanuts, soy, and wheat. It was found that approximately 1 to 7.5% of children are allergic to cow’s milk as well as cow milk-based formulas.

These are fungi and grow in places that are warm and moist. You can find them both indoors as well outdoors. Molds can be seen indoors in places like the kitchen sink, bathrooms, damp basements, etc. Outdoors, you can find mold in rotten leaves, near drainages, etc. Certain molds are seasonal while some of them can be around throughout the year.

Interestingly enough I read that kids kept in homes with 2 or
more pets have fewer problems with Asthma, kids in homes with more
chemical use - cleaning supplies - overly clean homes - have more
problems. of course Asthma and allergies are not the same thing,
good info. I was the oldest and had no allergies - my sister next
to me had many BUT she really wanted a dog - so took allergy shots
2x a week just to keep a dog.

Your article was really informative. I had no idea that children
could be allergic to roaches. I also didn't know that roaches could
lead to asthma.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.

To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.

Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
